ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

     Scottsdale  Land  Trust  Limited  Partnership  (the  Registrant)   received
$50,000,000 in gross proceeds from its public  offering of the Units on November
23, 1988. After deducting  organizational and offering expenses,  the Registrant
had $43,250,000 in net proceeds available for investment.  The net proceeds were
used to purchase the property (The Perimeter  Center),  fund the construction of
the  infrastructure  and  fund  the  $8.5  million  loan  to  Franchise  Finance
Corporation of America (FFCA), in accordance with the partnership agreement.  In
May 2000,  the  entire  principal  balance  of the loan was paid in full by FFCA
together with accrued  interest and  additional  interest in the amount of $1.13
million (as discussed below).  The Registrant's  primary sources of revenue have
been land sales,  interest  payments received from FFCA under the loan agreement
(interest  payments  were made  through May 1, 2000,  at which time the loan was
paid in full) and interest earned on the Registrant's temporary investments.  As
land parcels are sold,  distributions  of the net cash sale proceeds are made in
accordance  with the  partnership  agreement.  Once all of The Perimeter  Center
parcels are sold,  the  Registrant  will  liquidate and distribute its assets in
accordance with the partnership agreement. As of July 31, 2000, all land parcels
were sold or are under  contract for sale. A proxy  statement was filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in April 2000, requesting an investor vote on
the sale of an  additional  land  parcel to FFCA and on the  dissolution  of the
partnership  upon sale of the remaining  parcels under contract.  Both proposals
passed  during the quarter ended June 30, 2000.  Cash reserves  remaining in the
Registrant  total  approximately  $3.7 million.  These reserves may be used from
time to time to pay amounts  assessed by city or county taxing  authorities  for
developmental or other costs.

     During the  quarter  ended June 30,  2000 (the  "period"),  the  Registrant
closed one land sale transaction,  representing  16.67 acres, to an unaffiliated
third  party.  This  land  sale  transaction  provided  cash  sale  proceeds  of
approximately $8.7 million. The parcel had a total original cost of $1.6 million
and closing and other costs  (including  broker  commissions)  of  approximately
$547,000.  This  parcel  sale  resulted in a gain  totaling  approximately  $6.5
million. Also in the second quarter, the Registrant received $8.5 million on the
payoff of the principal balance of the FFCA loan, together with accrued interest
and additional  interest of $1.13  million.  Upon FFCA's payoff of the loan, the
Registrant  recognized  the sale of the  original  FFCA  land  parcel.  The $8.5
million loan payoff included  approximately  $900,000 of land sale proceeds. The
original cost of the FFCA parcel was approximately $788,000, resulting in a gain
of  approximately  $112,000.  Distributions  payable from the parcel sale to the
unaffiliated third party and the loan principal payoff amounted to approximately
$16.7 million for the period.

     At July 27, 2000, the three remaining land parcels (approximately 17 acres)
were all  under  contract  for sale at  prices  aggregating  approximately  $9.2
million.  The original cost of these three parcels  totaled  approximately  $3.5
million.  Two of the parcels are under contract with unaffiliated  third parties
and one parcel is under  contract with FFCA.  The FFCA contract was entered into
on February 7, 2000, to purchase a parcel  (approximately 3.6 acres) adjacent to
its corporate headquarters.  This related party sale has been approved by a vote
of the  limited  partners  of the  Partnership.  Since  the  contracts  with the
unaffiliated  parties are subject to a due  diligence  process,  the  Registrant
cannot predict which, if any, of the contracts will result in the sale of a land
parcel or the timing or the amount of any future  cash  distributions.  Once the
remaining  parcels are sold, the  Partnership  will liquidate and distribute its
assets in accordance with the partnership agreement.

     Revenues totaled approximately $11.1 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2000 as compared to approximately  $234,000 for the comparable  quarter in 1999.
Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were  approximately  $18.1
million as  compared  to  approximately  $471,000  for the same  period in 1999.
Revenues in 2000 were higher  because land sales  comprised  the majority of the
revenues  in 2000 and there  were no land  sales  during the first six months of
1999.  Interest  income  on the  loan  to an  affiliate  had a net  decrease  of
approximately  $142,000 as compared to the second  quarter of the prior year due
to the payoff of the loan on May 1, 2000,  resulting in the Registrant receiving
one  month's  interest  during the  quarter  as  compared  to a full  quarter of
interest reported in the comparable quarter of 1999. The payoff of the FFCA loan
to the Registrant also resulted in payment of additional interest from affiliate

                                       5
<PAGE>
of approximately $1.13 million. Interest on investments and other income for the
period  increased by approximately  $214,000 from the comparable  quarter of the
prior year due to the increase in temporary  investment  securities  held during
the period. The higher cash balance in 2000 resulted from net land sale proceeds
held  during  the  quarter  prior to  distribution  of the  cash to the  limited
partners.  Total  expenses  (excluding  the cost of land  sales) for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000  decreased  by  approximately  $70,000  from the  comparable
quarter of the prior year.  Year to date  expenses  (excluding  the cost of land
sales) show a similar  decrease  from the  comparable  period of the prior year.
These  decreases  were  primarily due to lower  property taxes and lower general
partner fees.  Property  taxes  decreased  due to the sale of land parcels.  The
general  partner fee decreased  from the  comparable  period  because the fee is
based on Assets Under Management,  as defined in the partnership agreement,  and
as  parcels  are sold the  general  partner  fee is reduced  accordingly.  These
reductions  were  partially  offset by an increase in costs related to the proxy
statement filed in April 2000.

     In the opinion of management,  the financial  information  included in this
report  reflects  all  adjustments  necessary  for fair  presentation.  All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

     The financial  instruments  held by the Registrant at June 30, 2000 consist
of cash equivalents. The Registrant intends to hold the investments to maturity;
therefore,  these  financial  instruments  do not  subject the  Registrant  to a
material exposure to changes in interest rates.
